FWIW, (not you SmithL, I know you know), it's called "The CHILDREN'S Pool" because a wealthy lady using her own money had the seawall built, to form a protected cove for CHILDREN to swim in.

And that worked for many decades, until the eco-wussies decided that the seals didn't have enough room on the entire rest of the California coast, and decided to banish the humans from enjoying this one protected spot.

My daughter, then about 10, was screamed at by the eco weanies around 2005 for daring to walk across that beach, even after the rope was ordered down and people were using it again.

They and appellate jurists have concluded that a 1931 tidelands grant transferring ownership of Children's Pool from California to San Diego gives humans priority over seals.

This has nothing to do with the ability of seals to breed adequately. It has everything to do with activists and bureaucrats lording their power over everybody else.
